Chick-Fil-A

I've noticed lately that while I love feminist blogs and love people who tout feminism, I often disagree with a lot of the things that people say under the guise of "feminism".  Yes, I believe that women should be able to do and say what they please, so keep tooting your own horn and announcing your feelings to the world, but reading some blogs today I realize that feminists are just like every other groups. One feminist blog posted about the Chick-Fil-A scandal and refused to admit she was not quite correct by saying that no government official had actually stopped/tried to stop Chick-Fil-A from establishing in their jurisdiction. Stating repeatedly that unbacked threats do not count. But, while I am fully against the Chick-Fil-A statements and monetary support to anti homosexual organizations, I would never think it is ok to establish rules that forbid Chick-Fil-A specifically from establishing in a jurisdiction just for that reason. Barring breaking the law, Chick-Fil-A should be able to establish where it is allowed. If a mayor or alderman were to ban all fast-food oriented restaurants citing health or cleanliness or "livability" findings, that's fine, but that's not just Chick-Fil-A and that defends a certain principle that the jurisdiction could support.

I know I shouldn't be allowed to think that feminists should all be educated on these things, nor should I expect that they are all willing to admit when there is a slight issue with what they say, but I want feminists to be willing to do all of those things, and do them without hesitation. Then again, I don't agree with everyone who supports anything I support 100%, therefore, I guess I can't expect feminism to be that way.

Side note: I moved last week, and it's incredible to live by yourself!
